The parliament OF the Dominion of Canada
has been dissolved and a new election or
dered. The Conservatives, under the leader
ship Of the present premier, Sir John Mac
donald, feel confident that the elections VIII
result in n vindication Of the governments
policy. while Mr.. Edward Blake, who is the
standard bearer OF the Liberals, is equally
sanguine Of victory for his party. The
northwest territories will enjoy tho right OF
franchise for the first time, and 1t is claimed
by the Conservative that Sir Johns prompt
and decisive conduct during the Louis Riel
half breed rebellion fully j~ustiies them in ex-
pecting that sections support at tho polls.
In the maritime provinces-Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, etc. tho vote will be ex-
ceedingly close, both parties claiming them.
The new parliament will convene on April Z.
upon which date the writ ordering the cleo

franchise will for the first time be tested. 1t
is equivalent almost to universal SUFFRAGE.

CHILD'S SKIN

Cured by Cuticura.

RNY little son, aged s years, has been
afflicted with eczema OF the scalp,
and at times a great portion OF the body,
ever since he was = years old. 1t began IN
his cars and extended to his scalp, which
became covered with scabs and sores and
from which n sticky fluid poured out,
causing intense itching and distress and
leaving his hair matted and ~lileless.
Underneath these scabs the skin was raw
ike a piece of bcefsteak. Gradually the
hair came out and was destroyed until but
a small patch was left ut the back Of the
head. Ny friends in Peabody know how
nv little boy has suffered. AT nigh. he
would scratch his head until ms pillow was
covered with blood. | used to tie his
hands behind him and in many way tried
to prevent his scratching. but 1t was no

some friends who had been cured by the
Cuticura Remedies prevailed upon me to
try them. | began to use them on the
18th of January last. In seven months
every particle Of the disease was removed.
Not a spot or scab remains on his scalp to
tell the story Of his suffering. Ills hair
has returned and Is thick and strong. and

The Church In Which the Whole Body
Worship.


s~ASDEMASIAS CHURCH, DANBURY, CT.
IptNeold cemetery Mt Danbury, Conn, rests
tho bones OF Robert Sandman, one Of the
founders Of tho sect called Sandemanians, and
in the same town liz the only meeting house Of
thesn people on this continent. The %illustra-

excellent idea Of the appearance of this church
which Is In size 25x30 feet Here assemble
every sunday II faithful band OF ten people
who comprise the descendant Of the followers
of Sandcman who settled here in 1864. So
TINT this sect was In existence when the IVES
l-ynns and Baptists were almost unknown.
In England there are yet n few congrcga
tion- Of this sect. One OF their chapels was
located In st. Paul's alley, London, and it
was here that the great scientific philosopher.
Michael Faraday worshiped. He who could
FIJI the largest hall in all London with learned
men from all parts of the world to hear his
lectures, would on Sunday walk TO this chapel
regularly and engage in tho services with the
two dozen members.
Ono Of the peculiarities of the Sandemaninn
form Of worship is that they have a weekly
love feast In which the whole congregation
dine together. 1t was the original intention
10 have this take place In the churches, where
a dining room was provided, but In Danbury
they find it more convenient to have this din
rer served Mt the house of one OF the Nom
bon. Here they also pray and sing. and the
